Relaxing and subtle in revealing the story. My most favourite game by Gagex. Have played it 4 times now and enjoyed it every single time. The backstory unfolds slowly and is very moving with a good ending. A little bit of strategy involved but the mostly the game is about being patient and playing it in short segments for optimal outcomes. I will highly recommend it. 👍
I dunno if it's just me, but the UI is a bit buggy. The coin and gacha token counter overlapping with older number. I sometimes get stuck on viewing the letters. And the fact that random ads plays while doing something. The first game is a lot better quality than this one.
The story is longer, there are more collections and characters than the first one! I really like the story about the main character who chase his dream and people who against him, it is relatable for everyone. One small thing is, the hours of the stocks are kind of hilarious since the expensive one doesn't give you more hour like the first one, it just give you some new collections, so I don't get what is the point of making the hours different.
exactly what it says on the tin. nostalgic, fun, relaxing with a heart warming story. absolutely free to play, non-challenging! few developers make games to help you relax and nothing else.
Fun game. Same as Showa Candy 1 and 3. I think the story connects but not sure as i am still early in the game. Graphics are odd in some places but nothing game breaking yet. Pretty good idle game. Even though kids will be sad if you don't have candy out, it doesn't seem to negatively impact the game.
Even for an idle game, it's too idle. Wait for it to load, tap the screen ten times, read a short letter, wait five minutes, repeat. It's cute and has good artwork but doesn't have enough depth.
Very cute, much longer than the first one. I think I liked the story less this time, but it was nostalgic to see all the different candies. Enjoyable idle game.
Very fun sequel to the original with more things to find. I enjoyed collecting the items and unlocking all the characters.
Relaxing game with a cute story. The issue with random ads popping up has been fixed, and there's a new capsule mechanic.
Finally finished this game. Another game with a heartwarming story. Also it's fun to get to know what kind of goods are available as you unlock it & new minigame as you play gacha game & collect them all
The kids look funny. They are like paper dolls flyin' in the air. What if you'll change that? Make them walk normal. But, it is indeed a nice game, though. So I gave 4 stars.
Cute and relaxing. I think i managed to collect all collectibles because there are hints on how to do it. Sweet story told through letters.
how can a story be this nice and cute? how can just a few letters let you feel all these emotions? Amazing game.!
That's such a comforting and heartwarming game! I totally loved it. The letters were kinda unclear to me but it's ok.
The storyline is amazing. I once played the three games in tow 😂💕💕💕 I just knoe I will install this someday. My sis and I love this!! 💕💕
Same with Fatima. Buggy UI. Numbers aren't where they're supposed to be.
The story is beautiful. It take a time for me to understand how the "stock" works.
sweet game with nice story, i love how u can leave this game and not having to be very active to progress
U have no idea what ur doing and the customers always fly and it blocks and pop up ads :-(
This is not just a game. It's a beautiful and touching story. I love it!
omg....this game is super lazy.Other than swipe/tapping customer you basicly cant do anything. You wait. What a boring game
Y'all unlisted this on play store and the first game is nowhere. What happened. -_-
So boring and full of ads
It's really heartwarming and relaxing
Such a charming adorable game
Charming and simple
Such a lovely heartwarming story. I cried.
Another excellent Gagex game!
Can't get the last two letters
Great continuation, but could be better. Gameplay wise, there are certain elements that could be optimized such as the buttons sensitivity and screen size not fitting for a large screen phone. Story wise, it's still great, but a bit too much retelling of the previous story. Still great game in overall.
